Hardcover. Zustand: New. Disbrow, Jessica (book design) (illustrator). New condition textured white boards with black and green front cover and spine lettering. Includes Introduction; Major Tournaments; Golf Basics; Great Insights into Golf; 12 of the World's Most Famous Golfers Past and Present; "The Long Hole" by P.G. Wadehouse; and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and color drawings. "On a fine day in the spring, summer, or ealy autumn, there are few spots more delightful than the terrace in front of our Golf Club. It is a vantage-point peculiarly fitted to the man of philosophic mind: for from it may be seen that varied, never-ending pageant, which men call Golf, in a number of its aspects. To your right, on the first tee, stand the cheery optimists who are about to make their opening drive, happily conscious that even a topped shot will trickle a measurable distance down the steep hill. Away in the valley, directly in front of you, is the lake hole, where these same optimists will be converted to pessimism by the wet splash of a new ball. At your side is the ninth green, with its sinuous undulations which have so often wrecked the returning traveler in sight of home. And at various points within your line of vision are the third tee, the sixth tee, and the sinister bunkers about the eighth green - none of them lacking in food for the reflective mind. It is on this terrace that the Oldest Member sits, watching the younger generation knocking at the divot." - from the Introduction.
